New ‘Receiving Via Bluetooth’ Notification On The N85

As you know I’ve recently gotten the N85 and as part of setting it up to my liking, I was sending across a few applications. It was then that I noticed something that I never had on any S60 earlier. There was a progress bar notifying me of the status of the file that was being sent in. Not only that, I could cancel the incoming if I so chose or simply choose to send it into the background.

Such a notification although common for other handsets has never been seen (to my knowledge) on a S60 so far. I immediately pulled out my N96 running the v12 firmware to see if this was being rolled out across all FP2 devices, apparently not.

Earlier, if two devices were paired & authorised and one of them initiated a transfer the only way to stop it from the recipient’s side was turning the BT off, however no more, at least on the N85. This screen takes a couple of seconds to pop up after the transfer starts and during that time no data gets transferred, at least not according to the windows progress bar.
